Russian military expert Igor Korotchenko appreciated the statement by the Chief of Staff of the US Air Force (Air Force) Charles Brown Jr. about the specifics of a future war. He stated this in a commentary to RIA Novosti.
According to Korotchenko, Washington's losses will depend on who the state will fight with. “Judging by his speech, this means Russia and China. These are opponents equal in strength to the United States, and, obviously, the losses could be much greater than the losses of the United States in World War II, ”he explained.
At the same time, the military expert is convinced that neither Russia nor China is interested in military operations against the United States. “Therefore, in this case, the Americans construct a situation related to the fact that it is they who will start such a war, and assess their losses. This is an exclusively American assessment, ”summed up Korotchenko.
Earlier, Defense News recalled Brown Jr.'s statement about a major future war. According to him, the conflict involving the United States over combat losses and existential risks to the nation will resemble what happened to the country during the Second World War. In addition, he named the likely location of a future war involving the United States. She would not stay far from the shores of the country, the military thought.
